Sonko leaves people guessing as he carries Rachel Shebesh’s handbag and escorts her to the car (Photos)
Sonko and Shebesh have mend fences, the two lawmakers had a beef since 2013 when they had an altercation within parliament building.
Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko and Nairobi Women Rep Rachel Shebesh were tight in the run-up to 2013 general election, but they split after a bitter quarrel in September 2013.
The row between Sonko and Shebesh spilled into the public domain with reports that the two were embroiled in a fight within Parliament buildings on September 26th 2013. This was before the two were said to have a confrontation at Crowne Plaza Hotel.
Then came Sonko’s revelation in Kariokor in January 2017; the Nairobi Senator indirectly said that Shebesh almost broke his marriage while addressing a gathering in Kariokor.
“Mimi nawaheshimu wamama sana. Lakini kuna mama mmoja ambaye mlimchagua afanyie wamama kazi, mlipomtuma nyinyi wamama, vijana na watu wa Nairobi kule. Amefika kule sasa yeye kwa ile miaka minne alikuwa ananyang’anya wamama wengine mabwana. Hata mimi nakumbuka siku moja karibu avunje nyumba yangu. Saa hii amechukua MCA mwingine kule… amemnyang’anya MCA. Sisi ni watu tunamcha Mungu sana, tunaogopa Mungu. Wamama wengine waheshimiwe,” Sonko said.
Talk of history having a funny way of repeating itself, Sonko and Shebesh have now settled their differences– just a few weeks into August 8th general election.
The Nairobi Senator was in hospital when Shebesh was being discharged. The Nairobi Women Rep was admitted at Nairobi Hospital weeks ago after she sustained a leg injury.
Sonko carried Shebesh’s handbag, posed for photos with her, escorted her to the car, opened the door for her to get in…such a gentleman.
“Our Women rep Hon. Rachel Shebesh has been discharged from hospital. We did our first strategy meeting as Team TRIPPLE ‘S’ today. I wish her a quick recovery,” Sonko said after Shebesh was discharged from hospital.
